The explosive development underway in Seattle's Denny Triangle is extending the skyline northwards, but in contrast with the office towers of the central business district, this vibrant neighbourhood is becoming a forest of residential towers. An alarming lack of housing supply has contributed to skyrocketing home prices and rents, and in response, developers are easing the burden facing dejected millennials by delivering a wave of highrise residences.

One of those is SLU, not the DT. Denny Way is the dividing line. The "triangle" represents the grid south of Denny.

Hopefully a few more towers will start this month. One is in SLU, the twin-tower 1120 Denny project with 1,179 apartments on two acres. They've fenced off most of the site and appear likely to have a shoring permit within a couple weeks. The other has its shoring permit, the Nexus Condos. They could start any any moment as far as I can tell. That's in the true DT.

If we're including that first block north of Denny, there's also a big transformer station going in, including a multilevel park. This will serve the 10,000,000 sf of recent/current/upcoming construction in the neighborhood, or whatever the actual figure is.

Demolition is now underway at 2401 Third Ave., where Taiwanese firm Chainqui Development has its master use permit for a 12-story mixed-use tower at the northwest corner of Battery Street.

Chainqui bought the roughly 13,000-square-foot site from U.S. Bank, which operated a branch there, for $5.2 million in 2014.

Plans by GWest Architecture have evolved from 110 units to 116 to the present 132. The latter has been permitted along with 4,900 square feet of ground-floor retail and parking for 73 vehicles on three levels below grade.

2401 Third most notable feature is a cascading green wall that splits the south facade facing Battery.

It appears that some design was shown at the conference, but no materials posted. However, the minutes do hint at some elements, such as balconies projecting over the lot line and having screens for hanging plants (projecting balconies won't be allowed per the minutes). Also some unspecified number of office floors, and rooftop office amenity. A mention of residential, so must be mixed use. Finally,

Some renderings I haven't seen, including this one looking toward Beacon Hill:

This project will be done in 4 phases. The first 2 would be the "West Campus", and the last 2 would be the "East Campus", according to the West Campus Plan Set. BTW these are huge Plan Set uploads. Each are over 140mb.

Edit: If you're wondering what the time frame is for this project, according to the Transportation Study they want the West Campus done by 2019, otherwise they'll need to revise their traffic study again.
